Air Botswana is taking decisive steps to enhance its operational stability.
The airline has launched a short-term strategic plan, which includes completing a mandatory C-check maintenance on its ATR72-600 on March 6. This maintenance increases its operational fleet to three aircraft, although it currently operates with two aircraft.
Air Botswana’s Strategic Maintenance Plan
Air Botswana’s recent maintenance efforts are crucial for improving its fleet performance. The completion of the C-check on the ATR72-600 is a significant milestone, allowing the airline to expand its operational capacity. Despite this progress, the airline is still working with a limited two-aircraft schedule.
In Parliament, Assistant Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Mr. Keoagile Atamelang, confirmed that the operationalization of two grounded ERJ145 aircraft has commenced. This move is expected to further enhance the airline’s capabilities in the near future.
